Description

The level of database activity required by the test system renders the testing process painfully slow. This is especially bad with django.test.TestCase - resets are very expensive operations, which can significantly slow down the testing process (to impractical speeds).

I'm going to call this fixed by r9756/#8138. There is perhaps more to do with speeding things up, but the specific item called out in the initial description here, that is the slowness of django.test.TestCase, was fixed in r9756.
